The answer: fact. "Generally, your natural lip shade is the same color as your nipple," Alexis Oakley, a celebrity makeup artist who has worked with the likes of Kris Jenner, Demi Lovato, and many more, told POPSUGAR.
According to a segment on "The Doctors," the best way to find your perfect natural lipstick shade is to go with the color of your nipple. Your top lip is apparently the exact same shade as your nipple. People on Twitter are freaking out over the unusual beauty tip.
The flesh inside your mouth, and inside a vagina, are the same type of flesh. And you found this out how? It's just a classification of epithelial/"skin" cells.
Match your lipstick to your outfit.
If you're wearing red or pink, some makeup artists recommend wearing an almost-identical shade of lipstick as your outfit, while others recommend complementary shades.
SkinStore surveyed 2,000 women and found that nude lipstick is what makes them feel "prettier" and "more attractive." While reds, purples, and browns can make for a fun pop of color, it's not actually what most people gravitate to. The top five power shades were nude, light pink, berry red, dark pinks, and bright red.
Mauves, bright pinks, peaches and oranges will highlight your adventurous side. Neon shades are recommended as lipstick shades for a younger look. Golden skin tones: A woman with a sun-kissed has won half the battle. If you fall under this skin category, choose free to play with caramel lip colors to look younger.
The study polled over 1,000 people in 35 countries. Of those polled, 60% said they found a symmetrical, 1:1 top to bottom ratio the most attractive lip (think Scarlett Johansson). The next highest-rated, according to the poll, was a larger bottom lip compared to the top lip (like those rocked by Kylie Jenner).
A study of 1,000 people in 35 countries revealed that the perfect lip shape is all down to symmetry. More than 60% of respondents thought a 1:1 ratio between the upper and lower lip was the most attractive shape. A cosmetic surgeon in London said a heavily-defined cupid's bow is the most-requested lip feature.
In the subjective assessments, a lip proportion of 1 to 1.6 (upper lip to lower lip) was rated as most attractive: average score of 4.21 out of a possible 5. The 1:1.6 proportion is widely accepted as the "golden ratio" for beautiful lips.
Nipple color is usually related to your skin color, but changes in hormone levels and other factors can cause the color of your nipples and areolae (the darker circle of skin around your nipple) to change at certain times. Pale nipples are usually not a sign of a serious problem.
Yes, if you measure the distance between your earlobes, it should match that between your nipples.
The main cause of darkened areolas and dark nipples are hormones. Progesterone and estrogen cause the body to produce more pigment. This is why many women see splotches and patches of darkened skin all over their bodies.
Just like with breasts, there's no one way that nipples are supposed to look. Both nipples and areolas (the circular skin around your nipple) come in different sizes and colors, from light pink to brownish black. The color of your nipples usually relates to your skin color.
Nipples and areolas can range from pale pink to a deep brown. It's also possible for nipple and areola color to change throughout our lifetime. Hormonal fluctuations, especially during pregnancy, can cause the area to become lighter or darker.
It is normal for your nipple color and areola color to be a little different. The areola is often darker than the nipple itself.
Researchers showed men photos of women, some wearing lipstick and some without and they found that shades of red lipstick captivated men the longest, 7.3 out of the first 10 seconds. And pink lip color was just behind that with 6.7 seconds out of the first 10. Fuller lips were also found to attract the eye for longer.
A study of 1,000 people in 35 countries revealed that the perfect lip shape is all down to symmetry. More than 60% of respondents thought a 1:1 ratio between the upper and lower lip was the most attractive shape. A cosmetic surgeon in London said a heavily-defined cupid's bow is the most-requested lip feature.
It turned out that the picture on the far-left marked 'A' was actually seen as most attractive. Unsurprisingly to anyone with functioning eye balls, 'D', with a heavy upper lip, was the least attractive look. In fact, it was the heavier lower lip that was rated most attractive.
The Golden Ratio
If we follow the Phi Ratio of Beauty, otherwise known as the “Golden Ratio” of 1.618, the perfect lips would be 1.618 times larger than the top lip and 1.618 times wider than the width of the nose. If you're determined to accentuate your lips, you may find it helpful to keep these proportions in mind.
According to Dr Marisa Coen in her essay for The Science of Relationships, fuller lips have long been desired by women because, as evolutionary psychology suggests, they signify strong mating potential. “Facial features serve as a cue of attractiveness,” explains Coen.
Some studies actually saw that big lips contribute to a great extent to our attractiveness level. Why? It's all about the symmetry of course. As you might be aware, the more symmetrical your face is, the more attractive you will appear to other people.
A blue-toned red is one of the best lip colors for yellow teeth. On the colour wheel, blue and yellow are opposite to each other. This means that blue cancels yellow, making your teeth look whiter.
Clothes with gray undertones can wash you out and make you seem older, says Natalie Jobity, an image consultant and author of Frumpy to Fabulous. “This is especially true about the colors you wear closest to your face, like those in scarves,” she says.
These findings indicate that women who look young for their age have large lips, avoid sun-exposure and possess genetic factors that protect against the development of gray hair and skin wrinkles.
